Coffee, anyone?

Promise of SpringBlue skies and a warm late February sunbath the tile roof of St. Stephen's Cathedalin brilliant light, carrying promises of spring.The verdigris of the North Tower'sRenaissance cap glims in the sun,and the teal dormer window frame of the buildingto the right, on Singerstrasse,slowly emerges from early morning shade.

A few steps down,at Weihburggasse, a shop windowarranged in shades of teal,invites to stop for a cup of tea,reading about Jane Austen's gardens orleafing through a collection ofPierre-Joseph Redouté's rose studies.

George Clooneywould have us brew coffeefrom ground beans imprisonedin teal aluminum pods anddrink it from pressed glass cups:Is this meant to givethe now distilled beans one more lookfrom the inside out into a worldfrom which they disappearedway back when picked?

Wow, that teal! I wonder what that would smell like if it were a fragrance? I want to take that teal and use it as soap, then go run around in an organza dress with a polka dot umbrella:-) Shabbat Shalom!
